I bit my tongue and stood in line
With not much to believe in
I bought into what I was sold
And ended up with nothing
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought that I would never see
What was meant for you was meant for me
I was distracted at the time
Forget about yours now what about mine
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea
You thought I was a little girl
You thought I was a little mouse
You thought you'd take me by surprise
Now I'm here burning down your house
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea of of a good time
This is not my idea

General CommentThis is my favourite EVER Garbage song :)
i remember singing it whilst trekking up a hill in the himalayas
("this .. is.. not.. my.. idea..of .. a good time..*pant*")
maybe i'll have it played at my funeral, Ha! :D

General CommentIn the beginning, she sings about being naive and buying into all the lies around her. But, then she realizes that there's so much that she can do and she can have. And this person (whether it was a boyfriend, friend, mentor) took advantage of her and thusly she takes revenge on them, via burning doen his/her house. Great song. Self-explanatory really. lol.

My InterpretationFor me it is a very sexual song, but I am not really sure of the exact meaning though. The song could be about a girl who’s been raped or molested. At the same time, I think it is about a girl who is not satisfied with her sexual partner. He’s finished already, but she has still sexual needs.
What do you think?

General CommentNice work! Has anyone ever wondered how to fill out forms online? I have, and found a simple service. BTW, if anyone needs to fill out a CT DRS REG-1, I found a blank fillable form here goo.gl/….
